Do It Yourself Color-Coded State Maps. In interpreting and illustrating events taking place in some locations and not others, the use of shaded or "color-contrasted" maps can be useful. This webform allows you to choose up to six different groupings of counties - along with your title, choice of colors and labels. A computer program will then draw a state map (as a "gif" format file) with your groupings shown in the selected colors. The map can then either be printed or saved and used later.
